Flu shot makes you sick

Remember the industry that has zero legal liability for injury or death, grows it's product in eggs, fetal cell cultures, dog and monkey kidneys, and horseshoe crab blood, and maybe gets a factory inspection once every 10 or so years is still super duper invested in the upmost of quality control and contamination prevention protocols. So invested they break up their productions lots to hundreds of disparate customers and geographic locations so it's harder to track back adverse outcomes...

I see.

And you gathered this info from which conspiracy site?
 
^ I will argue that these kids were in no way told that they'd feel unwell after the shot other than the instant soreness in their arm. I talked about sickness with my wife while they were at school when I planned the date of the shot around all their activities they may miss. You can't fake-generate running mucus. Also, I haven't had any reactions from my flu shot, though I don't doubt it's possible. I'm planning for mine soon.

It's even possible your kids caught something from some sick kid at school. It's just a coincidence they happened to get sick after they got the flu shot. There are many factors at play here.

At the start of this fall season, I started to feel a little unwell for a day or two. Lots of people at work have had allergies (runny nose, coughing) for the past couple of weeks.

...the eff?
 
Tell me what is untrue?

The conspiracy part. I mean every provider in the world with the exception of the anally probed would have to be part of an ironclad "mission" as never seen in the history of civilization.

Nope.

As far as not being able to track adverse events? That too is nonsense at least in the US where we have this:

VAERS, the model of adverse vaccine reporting.

If there's an adverse effect the manufacturer, lot number, everything relevant can easily be had as these are recorded. Go to Walgreens or other pharmacy? The prescriber, the innoculator, the vaccine name, lot# and more are recorded and this uploaded to HHS or auditable if an event is reported. Doesn't matter where it's made or who makes it, it's there for the proper people to see and more, adverse effects become part of a computer system which looks for correlations to find bad lots or if there's a higher regional events, clinic issues (which may indicate not a problem of vaccine but that there are infections causing symptoms which may be reported).

Why does this system exist? I'd like to say because it should but the reason is that the anti-vaxxer nutters were getting pretty damn good at bringing back the horrors of pre-vax days.

Did you know that an extremely effective vaccination exists for Lyme Disease? I mean really really effective. My dogs got the shot, but you can't because the conspiracy nutters threw up so many lawsuits that the manufacturer gave up fighting them.
There are 30K new cases every year of Lyme and permanent neurological damage is often the reason people seek help. Thousands upon thousands of lives ruined because some nutter decided that it's better than having a safe shot.

Incredible, but stupid.
